摘要
通过测量1.55 μm量子阱共振腔增强型光电探测器的光电流随反向电压和光功率的变化关系,以及模拟能带结构、电场分布等特性,研究了量子阱共振腔增强型光电探测器的高功率特性.分析了光电流的产生机制,测量了1.064 μm量子阱共振腔增强型光电探测器的光电响应,模拟了具有不同势垒高度的量子阱共振腔增强型光电探测器的光电响应.从实验和模拟两方面证明了量子阱的势垒高度是影响量子阱共振腔增强型光电探测器高功率特性的最主要因素.
Abstract
High-power property of quantum well resonant-cavity-enhanced photodetector(QW-RCE-PD) was investigated by measuring the photocurrent as function of reverse bias and optical power in 1.55 μm QW-RCE-PD and simulating energy band structure and electric field.The mechanism of photocurrent was analyzed.It is found that high recombination is the main cause of the saturation of photocurrent in devices which have high barrier in quantum well region.And it is proved that the barrier height of quantum well is the most important factor to affect high power property by measuring the photoelectric response of 1.064μm QW-RCE-PD and simulating photoelectric response of devices with different barrier height in quantum well.
